The charts above [updated monthly] may be helpful to investors considering investment in billet mills, in rebar production or in flat product production as they provide some indication of historic pricing differentials in the long and flat product value chains.

All steel price spreads are in US $ per metric tonne fob local port; based on average world export prices. Note that latest data points will generally change one month later, when they will be based on more complete sets of transaction data.
